Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook group for LGBTQ+ authors, readers, and bloggers to gather once a week and share six sentences from a work of fiction–a WIP or a finished work or even a 6-sentence book recommendation.
Being a sequel, In Love and Death is set directly after In Pain and Blood. Some snippets will contain spoilers of those events.
Following last week’s snippet…
He slipped through the undergrowth edging the copse they had stumbled across in the fading daylight, halting as he spied another outside of the tents. It appeared he wasn’t the only one still awake at this hour.
They sat by the fire, slowly poking the embers and feeding twigs into the meagre flames that stirred up.
“You should be asleep.”
Their head turned Tracker’s way. Dark eyes regarded him from a pale face framed by black, unkempt hair. The thrum of magic vibrated the air around him. Little more than formless whispers, there in a breath, then gone.
“Tried,” Dylan murmured. “Can’t.”
I’ll see you all with more from In Love and Death next week. In the meantime, check out these other snippets.

I wouldn’t be able to sleep at this point, either, if I were Dylan. Poor guy. ❤️

He’s definitely gone through a lot. And there’s so much more to come.
